Title: Who Else Does Music?
Post by: chris319 on July 24, 2009, 06:13:35 PM

Who currently, and I emphasize the word currently, does music for game and quiz shows, aside from a certain early adopter of the MOOG synthesizer?

Off the top of my head, Lewis Flinn (http://\"http://www.lewisflinn.com/\") did/does the music on Power of 10, Million Dollar Password and The Newlywed Game. David Vanacore (http://\"http://www.davidvanacore.com/\") has done the music for Big Brother, Duel, Amnesia and 5th Grader among others.

Groove Addicts-a few of the Endemol shows, I know they did D/ND and I believe Wipeout's themes.
Does Alan Ett (Debt, Whammy!) still do anything?

Oh, and I should have added -- besides Michael Karp.

Lewis Flinn's two game themes are certainly thick with synthesized percussion and "whoosh" sounds.

Answering my own question: I wonder if Charles Fox is still active. There are also Gary Anderson and Jefferson Denim.

Alan Ett is, yes.

Craig Stuart Garfinkle still composes.

If we're including foreign shows, Paul Farrer does some great music for England's shows.

But you cannot leave out the Strachan brothers.

That, plus the fact Score's site (http://\"http://www.scoreproductions.com\") has been down seemingly forever, have me wondering if Score's still in business.

Also add Robert Etoll [Lingo].

Score is in business but I think all they do is count their royalties nowadays. I suspect Bob Israel is no longer active in the industry and that they no longer take on clients. When was the last time you saw a new show with music by Score Productions? Mr. Israel was supposedly becoming involved with some sort of animation project. Don't know where that went.

There was a guy who did music for one of Jay Wolpert's shows -- Oldham?

Chip Lewis comes to mind. He wrote the theme to "Rodeo Drive" and "Blackout", but he's on to other things now.

I don't know about any animation project, but I know Mr. Israel in recent years has been in collaboration with Turner Classic Movies to write scores for their silent movies.

Now the question is, has Israel himself been doing the writing or has he been using ghost writers? Let's ask the Musical Pedophile! Hello, Andr...

The recent mention of a "Balderdash" ep. in the video forum reminded me---what of Shie Rozow?

I can -- Garfinkle/Garfunkle don't match.  Board goes back and it's your opponent's turn.
